OAKLAND -- A 10-year-old girl was taken to a hospital with a minor injury after she was struck by flying wood from a fence that splintered when it was hit by a bullet in East Oakland Friday afternoon, police said.

No one else was injured by debris or the bullet, police said.

Gunshots were reported at 4:51 p.m. near the corner of 82nd Avenue and A Street, said police spokeswoman Johnna Watson. The trajectory of the bullet was not immediately known.

No arrests have been made, but police continue to investigate, Watson said.
